The Walking Wounded
QIC: Zima
Date: 10/13/25
PAX: Drip, Tammy, Zima
YHC popped out of bed this morning without an alarm – rare, then headed to the bathroom, like all of us middle-aged men do. As I was getting ready, you know, primping myself and listening to my morning podcasts, something felt off. A quick glance of the watch to see how rushed I would be revealed a disturbing, but welcome revelation. It was only 1:03 am. Woohoo! That meant another 2 hours and 57 minutes of sleep. As I bounded back to my cozy bed with the renewed prospect of increasing my Garmin Sleep Score, my excitement waned. Although my body was terribly fatigued from a weekend full of long runs, my mind was racing and wide awake. Why? My best guess was the exhilaration of my upcoming Q. After time wasted doom-scrolling through my news feed and emails (yes, that certainly counts as doom-scrolling), I gave up on the attempt of sleep and well, here we are. Hours to go before my Q and I’ve pre-started my backblast. As the kids say, LFG!
TIME WASTERS.
Nobody is reading this to hear about jumping jacks.
